As the others rest, Balasar heads back out into the hall and moves southward, moving awkwardly as the ceiling is much shorter than he is. He finds himself at another cross section. West and east appear to both lead to dead-ends. But there are two paths to the south and two to the north. There is that strange rumbling sound again; the rhythmic thunder of pounding waves echo throughout the mine, loud enough to make the stone underfoot shiver. It only lasts for a few seconds, then subsides. "What do you suppose that noise is?" Iroas asks the others as they wait for the dragonborn to return.

"I don't really know," Orianna says. "It kind of sounds like waves."

“Well, I guess that’s why this place is called ‘Wave Echo Cave,’” Fosco notes.

Balasar scouts the two south passages starting with the one to the west then moving to look down the one to the east.

"But where are the waves coming from?" Orianna asks.

Fosco and Orianna (Barracks)"Some kind of underground river, perhaps?" Zoya speculates. Balasar (Tunnels)Balasar realizes both southern tunnels lead to a larger cavern with a thirty foot high ceiling, so Balasar no longer needs to squat here. To the west leads back to the pit where they first arrived. There are also tunnels south and east. The walls are carved with simple reliefs showing dwarf and gnome miners hard at work. Below them, nearly two dozen skeletons in rusted scraps of armor are scattered across the cavern floor. Some are dwarf skeletons, while others are orc remains. Half a dozen large brass lanterns stand in niches or on ledges around the cavern, but none are lit. ==========

"Hmm, maybe," Orianna says. "But wouldn't it have to be a pretty violent river?"

Balasar heads back to the others to inform them of his findings.

"And why is the sound not constant, but it starts up and stops shortly after?" Iroas wonders aloud.
As they ponder this mystery, Balasar returns to them.

Orianna looks up to Balasar as he returns and relays all that he has found. "I would rather avoid the skeletons that you found."

Balasar "Yes that as my plan to avoid that. However there is still more to scout looks like we have a maze of passages to go through."

Orianna stands up from where she was sitting. "Then let's get going."

"Toward the skeletons or in another direction?" Iroas asks as he gets to his feet.

"I would say another direction," Orianna jumps in. "Balasar, why don't you take the lead since you were the one that did the scouting."

Balasar "Certainly." the dragonborn takes the lead and heads towards the passage that was north of the cavern with the skeletons.
